Teletovic has multiple blood clots in his lungs and will miss the remainder of the season, Alex Raskin of the Wall Street Journal reports.

Analysis:

After experiencing shortness of breath during Thursday night's loss to the Clippers, Teletovic was taken to a Los Angeles hospital for testing. There, it was revealed that Teletovic has bilateral pulmonary embolus, or multiple lung blood clots. The remedy for this ailment involves using blood thinners, which will not allow the Bosnian to play for the rest of this season.
